Eagle Systems Chosen by KBA Japan for Cold Foil Solution

“The Eagle System’s interface is another advantage,” said Hansen. “There is one connection between the Eagle and the KBA ink fountain guard circuit and that’s for safety purpose. There is no other interface to the Eagle Cold Foil as it is self-contained, has no computer panel, and requires no operator intervention. The Eagle System also can run narrow webs to two inches in any configuration to the width of the press, operates at press speed and is one of the easiest machines to use, as it needs virtually no machine training. It’s efficient, user-friendly and an ideal complement to our KBA presses.”


About Taisei
Founded in 1962, The Taisei management team is headed by President Yoshiro Ohno. Taisei prints backlit display graphics for the vending machine industry (e.g. cigarette, soft drinks, candy, etc.). The substrates are transparent films (polyethylene) in thicknesses between 0.2 and 0.4 mm. This work had in the past been handled by presses from another unnamed German manufacturer, but is now becoming a new revenue stream. Within the first weeks of operation, the company has received numerous orders for foil jobs and have been able to strongly reduce outsourcing of in line foil jobs. Taisei management reports they’re already ahead of the return of investment calculations.
